Answer:

Diagnosis in Munich

To start, we would advise you to consult a neurologist professor in Munich. In parallel, no matter what time to lose, we would recommend and refer to podiatrist, as The obvious problem with the bones and muscles of the legs.
For this course you will have a child to come to Munich. According to the results of the initial consultations will be clear which studies and analyzes have to do and how long it will take.cost initial consultation with Professor is a neurologist from 400 €, and a podiatrist from 300 €. These prices do not include the cost of analysis and research, but they will be known to you after you assign them a doctor, but before your child they will do.
At the end you will receive an offer diagnostics pass treatment in Germany, with a very high probability it will treatment in Munich.

If you are interested in our offer, please fill in the form and send it to us along with all the case history (extracts, analysis and research.)

Question:
I would like to clarify what is going in a text document?
We are more interested in genetics counseling and the upper limit value of such consultations.
Whose passport is needed, or my child?

Answer:

The cost of the initial consultation with a genetics is 500 €. This price does not include the cost of analysis and research, but they will be known to you before they will do. A genetic diagnosis in Germany provides the required first contact with a physician-geneticist, which determines the amount of required research and analysis. Today it is possible to organize a reception at genetics in the second week of February, that is, at least 3 weeks.

However, I want to draw your attention to the fact that probably without a neurologist about podiatrist is necessary. And if the proposed price acceptable to you, then I would be in your place the necessary pre-planned visits. Treatment in Germany, as well as diagnostics, require planning in advance and usually are not organized at the last minute. I want to warn you of errors and help make better use of time in Munich.

Clarify that the passport must be the child (if any), and if not, then that’s okay, because child will be written in one of the parents’ passports. If necessary visa support, will require a passport and child and all accompanying persons.
